Moving OEX Email Addresses

[deango]

Hi.
How can I copy just the Email names from my OEX address book to
'Shared Contacts' in OEX.
If I drag them from 'main identity' to 'shared contacts' it moves them,
not copies them.
I have tried creating a folder on my hard drive and exporting the WAB
file to it, deleting everything I don't want, and importing that to
'shared contacts'.
It shows a quick progress bar and says it is successfully imported, but
when I click on 'shared contacts' in OEX there is nothing
there........What's the secret? Thanks. deango

Have you tried posting your question in an Outlook Express
newsgroup? This is where you find the experts on the subject!

Why do you want to copy those contacts to Shared Contacts?

Best read up on Address Book, what the Shared Contacts folder is and why
it's there: http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm

Thanks PA Bear. That answers all my questions and tells me I don't
need to move anything to 'shared contacts' for my purposes!
